Nyssa snapped her gaze back to him. "It's Lord Raven to you," she growled. "And my heart desires are none of your concern." She turned and walked away.
The door slammed shut behind her.
Releasing a sharp breath, Nyssa stepped away from the house, but suddenly ran into Rav.
"Rav!" she said, surprised.
"Where have you been?" Rav asked, then he paused, discerning how uneasy she looked.
His scarlet eyes briefly shifted to the house she had come out of.
"What do you want, Rav? My personal life doesn't concern you."
"You're needed in the training grounds," he replied.
"Then let's get to it," she said, walking past him.
Rav's eyes lingered on the house until he peeled them away and left.
